CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of the Problem
Language has an important role in human life. Between language and human life is just like body and soul. It means that they can not separate from one to another. People wherever they live they use language to communicate with the others. Language is one of the most useful tools we have as humans. We can not express our feelings, thought, and ideas without it. It means that people can communicate and interact with the others through language.
There are thousand of language in the world, and English is one of the language that used and spoken in many countries, because English as International languages. So, there are many people who want to master English, because it can help us when we are going to interact with other people, especially who come from all over the world, although there are various dialect between one and another.
Generally, people use language in communication among others through speaking and writing activities. Speaking activities happened in every certain situation such as in telephoning, discussing, doing conversation among the family and friends at school.
conventionalized signs, sounds, gestures, or marks, having understood meaning.
We know from the statement above that language as a tool of communication can be used to express ideas or feeling for different situations. For example in teaching learning situation, the teacher and students interact each other in teaching learning process. Especially in learning speaking, a student should keep on trying to learn from many sources. The students should be able to be more active on the lesson in class. Encouraging them to speak is the best way to do.
In English teaching, we know about four competences they are listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill. Speaking is one of four basic skills. It is very important in teaching and learning English. To most people, speaking is the most difficult part when learning a foreign language. Although everyone knows that the best way to speak a language fluently is to practice speaking, as much as possible but not many people can do this.
According to Rinda Nurstdinova, ―The factors of speaking ability such as pronunciation, grammar, listening comprehension of interlocutor, vocabulary and self confidence‖. Speaking is very different from another
because it happens in real time and in spoken English, we can not edit and revise what we say thus speaking is natural.
language. Second, the way of speaking is often taught makes the students bored. Third, certainly for parents and environment have to cooperate to make students realize and want to study English as well. English is not easy lesson studied because they feel English is not important. The last, the speaking practice applied in the classroom does not prepare the students for the real interaction.
Media can influence students to be more active to practice speaking not only in school, but also at home with their other friends. By using magazine, students can understand and communicate with other students individually or in groups. Students are not bored to learn English using media. Students are enjoy full and interested in learning English, especially speaking.
According to Hamalik (1989) the use of teaching media in process of teaching learning can encourage a desire, interest, and motivation, stimulate in learning process and give the psychological effect for students.
The writer interviewed the first year of English‘s teacher in MTs Negeri Jatibarang, Gilang Umarriyani, S.Pd on 18th Mei 2012; she said she just used a few variant methods in teaching speaking. She delivered the speaking material by speech method only. Beside that the writer also asked to some students at the first year of MTs Negeri Jatibarang. Most of them said that learning speaking are difficult and bored, because they can not speaking fluently and they can not explore their English, then they seldom to practice speaking English.
In this case, the writer use magazine as media to practice speaking. Many students just keep silent rather than speak up, so the writer try to make them speak up and tell their friends whatever they know about news. It makes class active and students are confident to practice English.
They can look for new about information about the news and add their experiences. If the students know more information, they learn more in the class. The students are able to criticize the information on magazine, which stimulate them to speak and asking question in group or individually, and then try to solve problems by themselves. They feel confident to practice speaking and expressing their opinion.
